DOI: 10.3389/fnint.2022.836757
Abstract: High-frequency vibration of the tendon provides potent activation of Ia afferents time-locked to the stimulation frequency and provides excitatory ionotropic activation of homonymous motor pools. In cats, the evoked motor unit discharge is constrained to… read more here.

DOI: 10.4085/1062-6050-52.1.06
Abstract: CONTEXT Proprioceptive training on compliant surfaces is used to rehabilitate and prevent ankle sprains. The ability to improve proprioceptive function via such training has been questioned. Achilles tendon vibration is used in motor-control research as… read more here.
